Minnesota Fringe Festival is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization that organizes an annual, 11-day festival. This year marks our fifteenth anniversary. Since 1993, Minnesota Fringe has grown by leaps and bounds into the Midwest’s largest performing arts festival and the largest non-juried, uncensored Fringe in the United States. The organization does not judge, jury or censor the work of any artist. Our goal is to provide a platform for performance, and we leave it up to the audience to evaluate the results.

“Tipping the Bucket”
Rebelling against politics, proselytizing and puking, rockstar Allegra Lingo surfs the waves of her Baptist past and gay Catholic present to find an island of her own.

“Orange”
Two job applicants walk in for an interview and find themselves at the site of a nuclear hostage crisis threatening all we hold dear. A no-holds-barred farce about fear, sex, the media, and a bit of cannibalism

*A. J. Sass*, performer
“10.10 Post 9.11: Laughter in the Aftermath”
Five satirical scenes for your inner pot-smoking hippie... or war-loving neocon wingnut. This is humor for 9/12, from a woman paralyzed by fear (as told by Edgar Allen Poe) to George W. Quixote.

“Brilliant Traces”
The wilds of Alaska. Fate, a runaway bride and a cynical recluse converge in a match of wills to echo the raging blizzard outside. A kooky exploration of love, loss and the unlikely places we find sanctuary.

*Laura Bidgood Curt Lund*, writers, performers
True Enough Theater
“Boys Don't Make Passes at Girls Who Wear Glasses”
Embrace your inner dork as Laura and Curt (the geeks behind Take a Left at the Giant Cow) fog up your glasses with torrid tales of nerd romance. Did we say torrid? We meant awkward, embarrassing and unrequited.

The Bronze Bitch Flies At Noon and Dog Tag
Six condoms?! You're an optimist. If a $100 bill can bring a nerd and a frat boy together, can it last longer than the sex? If a dog can talk, can he reunite two estranged lovers?
